What is a volunteer computer science internship?

A Volunteer Computer Science Internship is an unpaid program where individuals, often students or recent graduates, gain practical experience in computer science by contributing their skills to organizations, non-profits, or community projects. Interns typically work on software development, coding, IT support, or data analysis tasks under the supervision of professionals. This type of internship helps participants build their technical skills, expand their professional network, and enhance their resumes, all while supporting a cause or organization in need. Volunteer internships can be part-time or full-time and may be completed remotely or on-site, depending on the organization's needs.

What types of projects do volunteer computer science interns typically work on, and how much guidance can I expect?

Volunteer Computer Science Interns often contribute to real-world projects such as developing websites, improving nonprofit software tools, or assisting with data analysis and automation tasks. You can generally expect to work closely with a small team or directly under a lead developer, receiving mentorship and feedback throughout your internship. While some tasks may require independent problem-solving, most organizations provide clear project goals, regular check-ins, and opportunities to ask questions. This structure helps interns learn new technologies while making a meaningful impact.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a volunteer computer science intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Volunteer Computer Science Intern, you need a strong foundation in programming languages (such as Python, Java, or C++), basic computer science principles, and often current enrollment in a relevant degree program. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, collaborative platforms such as GitHub, and exposure to common development environments are typically expected. Strong problem-solving skills, willingness to learn, and effective communication make an intern stand out in team-based or project-driven settings. These abilities enable you to contribute meaningfully, adapt to real-world projects, and maximize both your learning and your impact within the organization.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer and part time experience. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week.
BASIC REQUIREMENT(S):

A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
OR
B. Combination of education and experience
-- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:

  1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1 , or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
